What recent war powers resolution was passed by the House?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly. A war powers resolution passed by the House yesterday now heads for the Senate. Four Republicans joined House Democrats to approve it. The resolution directs President Trump to remove U.S. military forces from hostilities with Iran. Approval is mostly symbolic as Republicans control the Senate and President Trump would likely have a veto-proof majority if the resolution cleared Congress.
What are President Trump's latest comments on the U.S.-Iran ceasefire?
Republican Congressman Marlon Stutzman of Indiana says what the president is trying to accomplish remains complex.
This is a very tough task that President Trump and Marco Rubio have negotiating with the IRGC. They move the goalposts. They will tell lies. They'll tell, you know, one thing and do another. And so it's very hard to negotiate with them.
He was speaking to ABC News. Despite U.S. and Iranian forces exchanging more fire this week, President Trump is continuing to express optimism that the current ceasefire will hold. NPR's Franco Ordonez reports on the president's latest comments at the White House.
The latest set of deadly strikes between the two countries threatened to upend peace talks and the already fragile ceasefire between the two nations. Trump said there was a reason behind the U.S. strikes, echoing a U.S. military assessment that they were defensive moves.
And I'd say in that part of the world, ceasefire is when you're shooting in a more moderate manner. But he insisted talks continue to go, quote, very well, and that it's possible they could reach an agreement in a matter of days.

Democratic lawmakers in New York State are endorsing a constitutional amendment to change the state's congressional redistricting process. Jimmy Veilkind with Member Station WNYC reports.
Democrats who control New York's government say they're responding to new maps adopted in Republican-controlled states like Texas. New York lawmakers approved an amendment that allows for mid-decade redistricting. State Senator Mike Gineris is a Democrat from Queens who sponsors the amendment, which would also repeal the state's prohibition on gerrymandering.
You can't just say we'll do it right and let everyone else do it wrong and hope for the best, because New York will suffer if that happens.
Republicans like Assemblymember Joe Sempelinski oppose the amendment.
I don't view this as protecting democracy. Quite the contrary, I view it as a Democratic Party power grab.
The amendment must be approved again by lawmakers in 2027 and would go to the ballot later that year. For NPR News, I'm Jimmy Veilkind in Albany.
Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Javier Becerra remain the top two vote-getters in California's gubernatorial primary. The votes are still being counted there. This is NPR News. It's still not clear who Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will face in the November runoff election. Bass, a Democrat, is seeking re-election and has advanced as a result of Tuesday's primary voting. Republican Spencer Pratt remains in second, ahead of City Councilmember Nitya Raman. Though ramen has closed the gap on Pratt as votes continue to be counted, the top two finishers will face off in the fall. New research suggests people with diet-related diseases who consume dietician-designed meals have lower health care costs and fewer hospitalizations.
NPR's Allison Aubrey reports on the findings published in Nature Medicine.
The study is the latest from the Food as Medicine Institute at Tufts University. The analysis includes people with diabetes, heart disease, depression, and other conditions who received free meals delivered to their homes about 10 per week. Each patient met with a registered dietician who tailored meals to meet their medical needs and food preferences. The study shows participants who received the meals had about 30 percent fewer hospitalizations and lower health care costs. Researchers say the results show food really can be a form of medicine. Several states are piloting similar medically tailored meal programs through Medicaid at a time when diet-related diseases are a leading cause of death.
